Range shift lever (B) provides four forward and reverse speed ranges (A, B, C, and D).

Reverser lever (C) provides travel direction (forward or reverse).

When using range and gear shift levers in different combinations, 16 forward and reverse speeds are available.

NOTE: Slow speed gearing (creeper) is available on separate lever.

Range shift lever must be in neutral position to shift into creeper.

1. When starting tractor, put reverser lever in neutral and depress clutch pedal.

   NOTE: If reverser lever (C) is not in NEUTRAL, and/or gear shift lever (A) is in position except NEUTRAL or PARK, and/or range shift lever (B) is not in NEUTRAL, tractor will not start. Put reverser lever (C), gear shift lever (A), and range shift lever (B) in NEUTRAL to start tractor.

   For additional information refer to “Before Starting the Engine” and “Start Engine” in Operate Engine section.

2. IMPORTANT: To prevent unnecessary clutch wear, never "ride” the clutch by resting a foot on the pedal.

   Depress clutch pedal when shifting range. The C and D range gears are synchronized allowing on-the-go shifting into those ranges. For shifting into the A and B range, tractor must be stopped.

   So, the following applies when shifting ranges:

   • From B you can shift on-the-go to C
   • From C you can shift on-the-go to D
   • From D you can shift on-the-go to C
   • From A you must stop to shift to B
   • From C you must stop to shift to B
   • From B you must stop to shift to A

3. Depress clutch pedal when shifting gears. Gear shifts (1, 2, 3, and 4) can be made on-the-go, without stopping. Release clutch pedal gradually to take up load smoothly.

4. For PowrReverser™: Use reverser lever (C) to select forward or reverse travel direction. You can change travel direction without depressing the clutch pedal.

NOTE: Refer to “Gauges and Indicator Lights” in Controls and Instruments section for instrument panel indicators.
